Former Reynolds basketball standout Isaiah Pruett is looking for a new college home.

Pruett left Lees-McRae in the fall after the coaching staff reneged on its promise to play him as a freshman.

"It wasn't even that I was going to redshirt, I was okay with that," Pruett said. "I was just getting left out of things like workouts and scrimmages. My family and I came to the decision it was best for me to find some where else to play."

Mark Polsgrove, Lees-McRae's associate head coach, said Pruett was never promised playing time as a freshman.

"We pride ourselves on being up front with players throughout the recruiting process and once they become a part of the program," Polsgrove said. "We did not promise to play Isaiah as a freshman, nor do we promise any of our other freshmen the same.

Pruett, who averaged 27 points a game for Reynolds last year, said he planned to play at Warren Wilson this season, but was not cleared by the school even after being cleared by the NCAA to play."

"It's been a tough start to college," Pruett said. "I just want a chance to play basketball."

Pruett said he has been contacted by Piedmont College (GA.) and Bridgewater College (WV.) since re-opening his recruitment.
